Hi,

Is there a way to call a constructor in a java class other than new,super keywords? I am asking for calling the constructor which is present in the same class.

Within the same class, the only way to call another constructor is from another constructor to hand over or augment to the initialization process.

Hi,

Sorry i forgot to mention that i have call the constructor of a class without using new,this,super keywords.For example,

public class A{

public A(){

System.out.println("Hello Constructor");
}

public static void main(String args[]){

}

}
Now i have to print "Hello Constructor" without using new,this,super keywords.Is it possible?

Hey,

I still question why you would want to do this, but this will work for classes that have default constructors:

Reflection would be another way but that's no topic for beginners.
